Defender of the Crown is a strategy computer game designed by Kellyn Beck. It was Cinemaware's first game, and was originally released for the Commodore Amiga in 1986, setting a new standard for graphic quality in home computer games.

The game is set in England in the Middle Ages where, following the death of the king, different factions are fighting for territorial control.

The player assumes the role of a Saxon (Wilfred of Ivanhoe, Cedric of Rotherwood, Geoffrey Longsword or Wolfric the Wild) and tries to fight off the Norman hordes and wrestle for control of England. Eventually, the player must fight for control of all territories, and those controlled by other Saxons if they became your enemy. The player must amass armies and fight for control of opponents' castles. The player may engage enemy armies in battle, loot or lay siege to opposing castles. Territories can also be won in the periodic jousting contests. From time to time the player may attempt to rescue a damsel in distress and can appeal for help from the legendary bandit Robin Hood.

We added a few new journey enhancements today. These are mostly visual, such as larger cues for adding new entries and in confirming entries. Before, it was a little confusin - we hope now it is clearer. Give it a try!

An evil and dark shadow of deception is spreading over Celtic Radio. My worst fears come true. All seemed to have been restored to its once beautiful and peaceful existence - but it was just an act - the ultimate act of deception. Things seem clearer now that I am not under this spell. Raise your shields and ready thy sword. The time is fast approaching........
